USA. The Pentagon facted by UFOs. Objective? Hide a secret weapon – says Wall Street Journal

The Pentagon investigation into conspiracy theories regarding UFOs showed that the US government itself was often a source of myths on this subject of UFOs. At least one of these theories was fueled by the Pentagon himself – writes “Wall Street Journal”. According to the diary, the use of this disinformation was used.

“The disinformation of the Pentagon, which propelled American UFO mythology” – yes “Wall Street Journal” titles on Saturday an article about how American authorities created conspiracy theories to protect military secrets.

“The US Army was factorying evidence of the existence of foreign technology and allowed rumors to develop to hide real secret weapons programs,” says the newspaper. He reports that “the small Pentagon office spent months studying conspiracy theories about secret UFO programs in Washington, until it discovered the shocking truth: at least one of these theories was fueled by the Pentagon itself.”

“These discoveries are a stunning phrase in the history of American cultural obsession with UFOs. In decades after the radio radio play of 1938 'War of the Worlds' Hg Wells caused panic throughout the country, speculation about newcomers from space remained a largely domain describes “WSJ”.

Investigation was initiated

As the daily emphasizes, “Recently, matters have taken ominous when A handful of former Pentagon officials publicly revealed the allegations regarding the government program of using extraterrestrial technology and hiding it from the Americans. “

“WSJ” reminds that Sean Kirkpatrick, a former scientist at Missile and Space Intelligence Center, was recruited in 2022 to conduct an investigation from the command of the congress through the ALL-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Congress was granted by Aaro unprecedented access to secret programs to examine unexplained air phenomena and allegations made against the authorities by several dozen former military employees.

Kirkpatrick's mission consisted of two elements: an analysis of current observations of the alleged UFOs around military installations and a review of historical claims, dating back to 1945, about secret foreign technology programs. The number of UFOs increased rapidly from 144 in 2004–2021 to 757 within twelve months after May 2023, although most incidents were explained by balloons, birds, drones or reflections of satellites Starlink.

Disinformation in your own army. What for?

According to the newspaper, the investigation of a small Pentagon cell showed that the government itself USA He was often a source of myths about UFOs, using disinformation to protect secret military programs of the Cold War.

The investigation revealed that in the 1980s the Air Force colonel intentionally disseminated the manipulated photos of “flying sauces” in the bar near Zone 51 (American military base, used to test new technical solutions) to hide the development of Stealth fighters – believing that it will be better if the locals think that the matter is involved in the case of alie weapons. At that time, the legend was born that the army secretly testing the discovered alien technology.

“WSJ” emphasizes that for decades new air force commanders as part of secret programs were shown false UFO photos during preliminary briefings and informed that they were joining “Yankee Blue” – a program aimed at reverse engineering of foreign technology. This influenced hundreds of officers who believed in his truth, signed contracts for confidentiality and never told about it to their spouses. The Secretary of Defense ordered this practice to stop in the spring of 2023.

In an extensive article, Gazeta also reports that in the 1960s and 70s military staff reported strange lights causing the exclusion of nuclear weapons, but investigators discovered that the Air Force secretly tested electromagnetic pulse generators in order to assess vulnerability to nuclear attacks. The disclosure of these tests would show the Soviets that the American nuclear arsenal can be turned off with the first blow.

Pentagon report. What was written and what was omitted

“WSJ” points out that the Pentagon report from 2024 about unexplained flying objects did not find any evidence of covering up matters related to aliens, but the document omitted the way the government created myths about UFOs using disinformation.

It was written that A rapid increase in the number of UFO observations in the 1950s and 1960s was caused by tests of advanced American spy planes and space technology. Officials also stated that “there is no evidence” that the government or companies should be in possession of extraterrestrial technologies.

“Wall Street Journal” notes that the unclear bureaucracy of the Pentagon in the context of secret programs embedded in other secret programs created a fertile ground for the spread of myths. The Congress Team for UFOs, mainly Republican, is still demanding explanations in this matter.

Investigators still determine whether disinformation campaigns were local initiatives or centralized programs. Some unexplained events may include foreign technology, such as Chinese aircraft using advanced masking methods. The Pentagon promised a second report containing more details about “jokes and inauthentic materials”.

It was a “real secret”

The newspaper writes that the investigation revealed the paradoxical truth: while conspiracy theorists claimed that the government was hiding foreign technology, the real secret was that the authorities deliberately created the same conspiracy theories to protect conventional military secrets.

The newspaper also quotes the statement of one of five people questioned by the Kirkpatrick team, depicted as Salas: “There is a gigantic covering – not only by air forces, but also by federal agencies that have knowledge on this subject,” said this person in an interview with Wall Street Journal.
